How Nirvana Made DUMB

Rock is Dead? Full Film: kzread.info/dash/bejne/o4GgrsirhZjMmtY.html Nirvana is one of the most successful bands in the history of rock n' roll and popular music. Nirvana released three studio albums: Bleach (Kurt Cobain, Krist Novoselic, Chad Channing, Jack Endino), Nevermind (Kurt Cobain, Krist Novoselic, Dave Grohl, Butch Vig) & In Utero (Kurt Cobain, Krist Novoselic, Dave Grohl, Steve Albini, Scott Litt), as well several live albums such as MTV Unplugged, From the Muddy Banks of the Wishkah, Live at Reading, and a compilation album, Incesticide. Kurt Cobain was the driving force behind Nirvana, his songwriting propelling the band to great heights. In this video I explore some of the history behind Nirvana's song 'Dumb.'

    Smiley” depicts the expression that Nirvana fans had on their faces during performances. Cobain used the emblem of The Lusty Lady strip club that was rather popular at his time. The club was located in Seattle, just 100 miles away from his hometown. Found this on google

    I find it to be very level in energy for lack of a better term, the fact Kurt did part of the vocal track laying flat on his back always comes to mind. That is why we enjoy your channel, different opinions are good for opening up further discussion among fans. Very nice work on the AIC Them Bones video, btw. A fave of mine from the first listen, their first 2 albums still in my top 10 of alk time.

    Pop was always cookie cutter. Even r&b was made cookie cutter pop ways if you look at how "Hitsville USA" motown records were just trying to sell records. Neil Sedaka n all. The Beatles were trying to sell records. They didnt try to make all the words 1 syllable in all the songs for the 1st few records to see what they could do artistic purposes but cause a cookie cutter minded label thought it best for memorbility
